How To Make caramelized cabbage and pasta

Step 1

Cut the cabbage into small squares, (no stalk) then finely dice the onion. Set aside until needed. Next cut the bacon into small pieces and add to a hot frying pan and cook down.

Step 2

Lower the heat and add the sugar to the pan with the bacon and allow to caramelize, then slowly and carefully mix in the onions, braising briefly (5 minutes) and then add the cabbage.
Step 3

Season the cabbage with salt and pepper and pour a little beef stock over the cabbage and steam for 30 minutes or until soft. (adding a little more stock if necessary). You do not want it to become to wet.
Step 4

While the cabbage is steaming; bring water and salt to a boil in a large pot and cook the pasta al dente. Then, strain, and rinse in cold water, making sure to drain really well.
Step 5

Just before serving add the drained pasta and heat again briefly (if necessary). Taste the cabbage to see if you need to season more and garnish with chopped parsley.
